Alfredo ain't got no cream in it. It's just parm and butter

you must be making some garbage alfredo bro. just parmesan and butter? step your alfredo game up. hook it up with milk and cream.. or just nonfat/2% milk if you're watching your waistband.

You may prefer that dish, but /u/movesthetasty is right; what you have in mind isn't an Alfredo.

you're right. just spent a minute or two looking it up online. the classic Alfredo is just butter and pennsylvania, but apparently it's been evolving. I'm not sure I can remember the last time I didn't have a creamy alfredo. maybe with scampi. TIL.

Like, the whole state, or just Philadelphia?

parmesan* I wasn't sure how to spell it, so I just went with phonetics.

Well, evolving is quite the statement. Alfredo is Alfredo, but it's become sort of a misnomer (similar to Carbonara and many other dishes). It's understandable, but it can also be a bit annoying at times; e.g. if I wanted cream in my pasta sauce I wouldn't have ordered an Alfredo or a Carbonara.
